Solar panels have become more efficient over the years, but even the best designs still lose a large fraction of the energy they absorb. Scientists around the world have been searching for ways to ...

Quantum dots are nanoscale semiconductor crystals whose size-tunable bandgaps and high defect tolerance have been harnessed to enhance the performance of metal halide perovskite solar cells. By ...

Quantum dots are nanometre-scale semiconductor particles whose size-dependent bandgaps and solution processability have positioned them at the forefront of next-generation photovoltaic research. By ...

Quantum dots are semiconductor crystals only a few nanometers in size. Their ability to produce bright, precisely tunable colors has made them promising materials for light-emitting diodes, displays, ...

Researchers in Spain have proposed a new photovoltaic taxonomy that replaces the conventional generation-based approach with ...

Quantum dots have spent two decades in the spotlight as tiny semiconductor crystals whose colors can be dialed in simply by ...

Researchers decoded the synthesis mechanism of heavy-metal-free CuInS2 quantum dots and built a photoelectrochemical device with record hydrogen production efficiency. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...

A single photon goes in. Roughly 1.3 usable energy carriers come out. That is the result reported in May 2026 by a team at Kyushu University and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, who used a quantum ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...
